UPLIFT Florida Network
UPLIFT Florida Network is a hub organization created to connect people, organizations, and communities in Florida so we can all thrive in community.

The Patterson Foundation shared the unique public-private partnership story of Southwest Florida's Patriot Plaza with dignitaries from across the country in November 2014 during the Veterans Legacy Summit. Leaders from the government, military, philanthropy, national veterans-serving organizations, and others supporting veterans came together to share ideas, learn about unique partnerships such as Patriot Plaza, challenge assumptions, and push the boundaries of potential to honor our nation's heroes.
